McKart took time out of his busy schedule to answer some questions for www.uboboxing.com ahead of this opportunity to become a three-time world champion.

Q: You are a former IBA and WBO World champion, and have fought at some of the most famous venues in the world such as Madison Square Garden in New York, The Blue Horizon in Philadelphia, The Olympic Auditorium in Los Angeles and The MGM Grand in Las Vegas. This will be your first world title fight in your hometown Monroe in more than twelve years. What does it mean to you to have the opportunity to win the UBO World Middleweight title in Monroe, and at the school where you graduated from in 1989?

Bronco McKart: It’s a dream come true! This means the world to me! My son Banyon is singing the National Anthem for my fight, it doesn’t get any better than this!

Q: Having boxed some of the biggest names in the game, Winky Wright, Raul Marquez, Kelly Pavlik, Roman Karmazin to name a few, who do you think is the best opponent you ever faced? Please rank the three best for me!

B.M: Aaron Davis, Winky Wright, and Kelly Pavlik. I could have said Winky, Winky and Winky! lol

Q: So far, what victory has meant the most to you?

B.M: My first World title fight against Santos Cardona! I promised my grandpa on his death bed I would win it and I did!

Q: How do you view your opponent on October 30, Michie Munoz?

B.M: Tough, durable, and very rugged. I trained for a hard fight, left no stone unturned! It will show at the weigh-in and in the ring! I am prepared to win! Took no shortcuts, never cheated in training or my diet! I’m ready for this!

B.M: I want to defend my title, and fight other champions also! I want my children to see firsthand by example: Work hard, believe in yourself, and NEVER give up! And you will be successful at whatever you choose in life!

Q: As far as I know, you were with famous manager Jackie Kallen from the beginning of your professional career and for a long time throughout your career. How does Team McKart look these days?

B.M: I still keep in touch with Jackie – love her to death! I’m self managed and work with an agent. My dad Gene has been with me since day one and will continue to train and help me along till the end, I also work with Keith Vining as my trainer.

Q: Please tell me how it came about that you turned professional back in 1992?

B.M: I was 21 and it was time to get a job or go pro! I sat down with my dad and told him I wanted to turn pro. He asked one question, why? I said “to be World Champion”. He said that if I would have given any other answer he would have suggested another line of work!

Q: Thank you very much for your time. Is there anything you would like to say in closing to your fans in Monroe and around the world?

B.M: Thank you for all the years of wonderful support! October 30 will be a great night! I hope it’s the beginning to a wonderful end! Thank you, and God Bless!

November 2014 Boxing Report By Michael Amakor

Shannon Briggs started off November securing an impressive 50th career win over a rank journeyman and then flew to Germany and attempted to crash Wladimir Klitschko events as he was preparing for his title defense against Pulev. His many attempts at goading Wladimir into a fight while sometimes entertaining, have bordered on criminal and downright creepy, but videos of his antics have generated thousands of views on YouTube and there is a real possibility that of a mega fight between the two might take place in 2015.
Briggs who was on hand to witness Wladimir’s destruction of Pulev in the 5th round has apparently forgotten the brutal beating he received at the hands of Vitali Klitschko, Wladimir’s older brother, and the coma he was in after that fight because he remains undeterred in his quest to fight Wladimir. He will receive a more severe beating and a fist full of dollars if he keeps up with his pursuit of Wladimir, we just hope he will consider it worth all the pain after the beating.
Felix Sturm and Robert Stieglitz fought to a draw in a twelve round war that most stateside fans missed because it was in Germany. That fight was an eliminator for the right to fight Arthur Abraham the current WBO champion, so it is very possible there will be rematch.
Heavyweight Tomasz Adamek suffered a 10th round decision loss to Szpilka in Poland in a mild upset. Adamek has hinted at retirement, but until he is inducted into the hall of fame, do not hold your breath.
